Oregon® is very pleased to announce the long-awaited release of several upgrades to one of its world-leading products for the mechanical timber harvester market: 18H chain. This perennial top performer has been improved in five ways to make it better than ever.

Two new built-in oiling enhancements:
1. Larger oval-shaped LubriLink™ oil reservoir in each tie strap. Holds twice as much oil as our previous tie straps, which keeps more oil where it's needed - on the chain.


Other recent 18H upgrades:

Along with a focus on improving .404"- chain-pitch system lubrication, we have already implemented three other upgrades to 18H and are announcing them now as we implement the new LubriLink™ feature.

2. Advanced, upgraded chrome-plating process. Maximum cutter stay-sharp; holds its edge in brutal conditions involving high speeds and cold weather.

3. Joints are pre-lubricated at assembly. Reduces damage to the rivet's bearing surfaces during machine start-up.

4. Improved rivet-hole finish in drive links. Reduces chain stretch and increases the life of the chain chassis.
